The affair: Maybe you've considered it. Maybe you're in it.
Today's women are acting on the urge, more than ever before, a new survey
reveals.

One in five married women has had a fling -- the highest numbers
ever recorded, according to one group of researchers. In fact, the numbers of
cheating wives now equals the statistics on cheating husbands, according
to a study by Tom W. Smith with the National Opinion Research Center.

In these Sex and the City days, that's hardly startling.
"Society has given women permission to be sexually active, and it's perfectly
clear why women do it ... it's for the same reasons men do. They're not getting
what they want out of their marriage," says David Kaplan, PhD, a marriage
counselor with 15 years under his belt, and now a spokesperson for the American
Counseling Association.

The workplace, working out, the Internet -- women have more
sexual opportunities than ever before. With better salaries and no children, the
stakes seem low if they are caught.
